👋 Hey, I created Station. I love writing code, building things and learning languages. Mi parolas Esperanton.

After far too long, I spent the whole weekend hanging out with Esperanto speakers at the Brita Kongreso here in the UK (in Wales). It was awesome to be around old and new friends, using only Esperanto for the whole weekend. I forgot how much I love escaping the real world and living in Esperantujo. Really can't wait for IJK in summer, where instead of 60 people it'll be more like 200 . 🙏

I'm pleased to announce that after a swift and relatively easy board meeting, we've voted unanimously to reject Elon's bid to buy Station.

It's a "long weekend" here in the UK due to the Easter holidays. I hope those with the benefit of the extra time off work have something/relaxing planned. I'll mostly be coding and settling back into life in the UK after a little time spent living in Spain – I'm still saying "¡la cuenta porfa!" in restaurants here!

Back in the UK after living in the Canaries for the last 3 months. It's great to see people again after so long, but damn, I'm already missing that beautiful weather. It's so rough here that the plane aborted landing on the first attempt.

I'm going to my first in-person Esperanto meetup in a couple of weeks since before the pandemic and I'm really pleased. It has been ages since I was around a bunch of other speakers, and there should be between 60-80 people! I'm even running a few games of "homlupo" (werewolf).

Which is your daily OS of choice?
The best thing you can do when learning a new language is to wield it like a maniac everywhere you can. You quickly lose any desire to appear competent and it becomes a lot more fun. It's also amazing how often people will go out of their way to help you when they see you trying.

Finished 30 days of intermittent fasting today. It's something I do on and off for periods of the year, aiming to give my body a rest from food intake much more than our normal diets allow. There are some really exciting health benefits associated with 16 hour daily intermittent fasting. If anyone is curious, I highly recommend the documentary Eat, Fast and Live Longer.

Station reached 600 users today... another cool milestone for our awesome little microcommunity here. Congrats everyone 🙌

It's great that after so many years I still love the feeling of sitting down and wiring in for a long evening spent progressing an idea. This kind of creative outlet has been addictively valuable to me since the day I first started coding, and I'm very thankful I can still find it. ☺️

Where are Station's users?
Just 2 posts until Station reaches 2000. Nice little milestone!

Sometimes all you need is a little momentum. It doesn't matter how you start – the only goal sans momentum is to get going. Do anything. Get into motion. Once you're moving everything else is much more prone to lining up. This has been a note to self. Kelkfoje oni bezonas nur iom da movokvanto. Ne gravas kiel, nur ke via celo estu moviĝi. Ion ajn faru. Simple ekmoviĝu. Poste ĉiuj la aliaj aferoj emos malkovriĝi. Tiu ĉi estas noto por la estonta mi.

What's everyone doing this weekend? Anyone have exciting / unusual plans? I'm hanging out here on the island of Lanzarote and mostly just coding. Simple pleasures :)

Anyone using a Gemini client on iOS they'd recommend? Ideally looking for something easy without having to compile myself. @skyjake While I'm on the subject, do you have longer-term plans to have an App Store release for iOS? Might be a nice way to support development. I'd happily pay premium for it.

I've just lost 10 minutes to a wonderful version of the I-can't-find-the-sunglasses-that-are-on-my-head problem in which I've been debugging code that randomly stopped playing sound, except it didn't, I just didn't have my headphones on my actual head.

Happy Monday folks. Hope everyone has an awesome week. I'm working on my own stuff this week, and I'm super excited to have only that as my sole focus. Single-tasking ftw.

I love being shit at something. No ego, no embarrassment in trying and failing repeatedly, progress is obvious to see, everyone can help you. Holding onto this mindset once you really start to make progress is rare. Rare and valuable tend to overlap often.

Reflecting on an amazing year and I'm thankful for so many things. Here are some short (subjective) observations from "life" so far.

Hello from the Atlantic ocean! I'm on a ship headed to Lazarote and I'm somehow picking up a 4G signal, so I've tethered so I can use Lagrange. First Atlantic ocean post on Gemini? 😆

So I've been thinking. Wanderlust, while used too often, is still a cool German word that captures the essence of wanting to be somewhere else – the desire (lust) to be wandering (wander). But eventually, such an unfulfilled desire doesn't feel so positive, so I've always been on a first-name basis with Fernweh – far pain, or the pain of not being somewhere far away (in contrast to homesickness). Reflecting on the last month hanging out in the Canary islands, I'm grateful that I've had no cause to use either of these words. In fact I now wish to coin a new pair: Hierlust (the desire to be right here) and Anderswoweh (the pain of thinking about being anywhere else).

I've been pretty quiet on here since before Xmas. I've been traveling again. I really should sort out a mobile client. Hope everyone's 2022 has started well! 💪

Station just reached 1500 (1501 now) posts! I'm loving the active, niche, friendly community we have here. Every time I visit there's something that catches my attention, and that's great to see considering the tiny corner of the internet we occupy. Here's to the next 1500!

It's a grey, rainy day here in Manchester, UK. I'm staying in drinking Club-Mate and writing code all day, and I couldn't be happier.

JavaScript is 26 years old today. Crazy. Feels more like NaN years to me.
